  5. CP 3106 - Portage Geep

    CP 3106 - Portage Geep

    Portage la Prairie is one of the best places to railfan on the Prairies, as that's where the CN & CP mainlines meet, not to mention CP's & CN's Prarie North Lines. The town itself doesn't generate much traffic however, thus there's only one unit on duty - a GP38-2, ussually CP 3106...
  6. My first GP38AC!

    My first GP38AC!

    On one of my last railfan trips before leaving Winnipeg, I managed to catch my first GP38AC, that was visiting town. Although it looks very much like the more common GP38-2's, it is quite a different machine. For starters the GP38AC series is currently the oldest unrebuild locomotive series on...
  7. Dartmouth, NS

    Dartmouth, NS

    I've never been to Dartmouth, however here's a picture of it, taken from the other side of the bay, the Halifax waterfront. Two CN SD75I's have come off the Gypsum train and are waiting in the yard. Although it is hard to see, a 47xx series GP38-2 is hiding behind them, with a load of autoracks...
  8. CP GP38-2 "Ingenuity" addition

    CP GP38-2 "Ingenuity" addition

    I really like CP's GP38-2's - the main power on the branchlines. At first there was the multimark version, thr non-multimark version, then a couple were repainted into dual-flags, then the beaver... And the latest is this, the "Ingenuity", or "we're too cheap to use beaver...

    GTW 6228 and IC 6118

    My first IC repaint shot of the year. A little bit of every thing here. A GTW GP38-2 in the lead and an IC repaint SD40-2 in second place, and a centerbeam flat car is in third place. They're all passing through Senatobia, MS.

  16. CP 9300 = 6000hp

    CP 9300 = 6000hp

    I was hoping to catch CP 454 that day, as I haven't seen him for a while and he'd been officially annuled the day prior. So it was an extra suprise when I saw him with a SD90MAC leading and it wasn't a 91xx. The big boys have struck again! Don't think I can say much more about him then I've...

  18. CP/ex-SOO 6601

    CP/ex-SOO 6601

    The SOO SD40-2's were always my favorite on the CP roster, as they're owned by CP, but are unlike the GMD SD40-2's at the same time, not to mention they don't look as bad as the wrent-a-wreck SD40-2's, most of whom have left us. CP seems to like these units, as we get about one everyday. Maybe...
  19. CP 3061

    CP 3061

    I've seen this Geep at the Sutherland shop many times before, facing me long-hood forward http://www.railroadforums.com/photos/showphoto.php?photo=40774&cat=500&ppuser=3391, but have now finally caught him working with sister CP 3112. Its amazing how a repaint changed the whole look of...
